PvE - PvP Activity Overlap

The Rift team has posted a small preview of changes to be implemented when Beta Event #6 goes live on Friday, February 4th. Among other things, changes will be brought to bear to lessen the likelihood of griefing and blocking PvE player quest progression. In addition, Guard AI has been improved and quest camp guards have been buffed up considerably.

For PvP gameplay:

Expect additional PvP takeover areas across Telara. There are differently-themed, cool-looking wardstones clearly displayed as PvP targets, down to the faction inscriptions on the side. You can see examples of these PvP objectives in Scarlet Gorge.

To help out with the spawn camping that was occurring in the shared world, Peace of the Grave (the buff granted when choosing to respawn in a graveyard) will now protect you from PvP attacks for 30 seconds, or until you take your first offensive action.
